Q: How do I install pytest?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/full-stack-skills/testing-skills --skill pytest in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/pytest/ (personal) or .claude/skills/pytest/ (project).
